MGIC Investment
Corporation To Hold Special Shareholders Meeting
Milwaukee, WI, April 29, 2008
– MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE: MTG) today announces that it intends to hold a
special meeting of its shareholders. This special meeting is in addition to its 2008
annual meeting of shareholders, which is being held on May 15, 2008. A date for the
special meeting will likely be set in the next several weeks and is anticipated to be in
mid-June.
The items to be considered at the
special meeting include:
| • |
the
issuance of shares of common stock on conversion of the recently-issued convertible
debentures in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares currently outstanding. In
accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, unless shareholders approve the
issuance of shares on conversion above this limit, the excess shares would be settled in
cash; and |
| • |
an
amendment to MGIC’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of
MGIC common stock that may be issued. This increase is related to MGIC’s recent
issuance of common stock and these convertible debentures. |
MGIC does not have any plans to issue
additional shares of common stock for other purposes, other than through awards under its
stock incentive plan. The next awards under this plan are not expected to be made until
2009.
MGIC intends to file a preliminary
proxy statement with the SEC regarding the special meeting in the near future.
